League 1 13:20 - Apr 22 with 6732 viewsHerbivore

Anyone else watching Pompey v Coventry? The standard looks pretty whack, and these are two of the better sides. The tempo is relatively high but nobody seems able to actually play football.

I thought Coventry looked okay, but Portsmouth looked nothing special considering the position they’re in.

we should fit in well then (apart from the bit about high tempo)

Coventry have pace on the break, they've been the better side. I don't see a lot to fear though if we can bolster our squad in certain areas.

The standard really isn't great.

Everyone is trying so hard not to be accused of arrogance that we've built League 1 up into something it isn't at all. There is a huge gulf between the Championship and League 1 and recent history shows that most relegated teams come straight back up or at least come close.

It won't be a cakewalk and we won't win every game but there really isn't anything to fear, particularly if Sunderland come up this season.

Coventry have looked very decent, passing the ball around confidently and the front lads are causing Pompey problems. Like the look of their captain Kelly in midfield. Got to say I've been impressed with the Sky Blues, not so much Pompey. Second half to come though!

pace on the break vs our slow defence - think I see an issue here

It fills me with great confidence knowing the Rotherham side that got relegated a couple of years ago (and amazingly it was probably worse than what our squad is now), came straight back up the following season (albeit through the play offs).

Would this be the same Rotherham squad that's also getting relegated with us? If it is, I'm not sure that it's the encouragement you think it is.

Just meant more in terms that they came straight back up with what was a poor squad. Obviously them not recruiting enough/or better players last summer is the reason why they’re going down again, something which I’d like to think Town would do better, should we come back up.

"if Sunderland come up this season".

Not sure how that posted itself!

If they do not go up, it will be because Barnsley/Portsmouth are better.

We have struggled against Accrington and Lincoln and plenty of others in recent seasons. We need to sort a lot out before we are ready for that league.

History shows that it is far from unbridgeable

Some truly hopeless sides from the Championship have managed to turn it around relatively quickly

Whether we are run well enough to achieve that is another matter

Indeed.

We need to bridge the gap between ourselves and Bolton first of all.

I wonder how many would expect Rotherham/Millwall/Wigan and Bolton to walk League 1 next season. We are not even competing with them in terms of league position at the moment. I do hope Lambert sorts us out but I am not taking it for granted at all.

I don't think anyone is, it all hinges on the senior players we end up with next season

We need a very good transfer window where we can secure some senior players of Championship quality

Since Lambert joined we have been marginally better than Bolton.

Fair dos, but your original post said we needed to bridge the gap to Bolton and we've already done that. Not that that's anything to brag about.

I think you’re missing the point.

No one’s saying they’re a good championship team, that’s the whole point.

Burton are a tiny club who are probably still above their natural level in League 1. All three relegated sides came back last season and two of them are right in the hunt for automatic promotion this season too.

Mate have you heard the table doesn't lie thing? It's true. We are not even in relegation fight. Burton are a good example of a squad that won twice as many games as us and then finished mid table I believe with the same kind of squad. These I am afraid are the facts at the moment.
